Some of you may remember me from the forums from a couple of years ago. I've not been back to Goa since my 4th visit. Things may well change next year..
I'm going to Asia and South East asia for 7 months next year. My initial flight is in July flying from London to Singapore via Mumbai (12 hour stop could have gone with another airline with shorter stop but fancied having an explore). So i'll be getting a Visa (haven't even looked what hoops they are making us jump through this time as yet).
I'm flying with Kingfisher airways and signed up for their Kings Club card. After having a look how many points i'd earn for my return flight (London>Singapore>Bangkok>London) I noticed i'd have enough points to get to Goa and Back from Mumbai..for free!! Got me thinking.. Sneaky week in Goa.. YES PLEASE.
Only issue its in July which is the height of typhoon season. Is it worth going then? Will anything be open and will people be there?
Expats will know more but my guess is very hot, very humid and very wet with not much open.
Spike.
I've been thinking about Goa a lot and have looked at the past photo's many times, I really miss the place.
I'll have look on the expats forum and ask about there.
I'll be flying back from Bangkok in Feb 2012 maybe it would be better used on the return leg..
I'll be very interested to compare Goa to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. I'm also intrigued as to how Hampi will compare to places like Anchor Whatt.
I imagine the sea will be much nicer... but will they still have the same quirky charm?
I remember you Mardon, i think it was you who put photo's of the Wildernest, which i have kept in my favourites to show O/H and i am trying to get there next season! It looks wonderful!!
I'll post my blog/link on here if people want to follow my travels next year.
